Story

Xander came to us as an Owner Surrender and had previously been in a pretty chaotic home environment. He was initially very shut down and underweight. We took time to allow him to come out of his shell and find his paws in a new home environment. During his stay with us he has been neutered, microchipped and titer tested for vaccine levels. The Good. Xander is a sweet boy! He bonds closely to his chosen people (women preferred, as he is very, very timid with men and will hide). He loves to play with other dogs in his size range (25-lbs max) and is crate trained. When he need to go outside, he stands by his foster-Mum's patio door to go out to potty. He likes toys, is learning fetch, and loves to chew. He lives for belly rubs! He knows sit and down and responds lovely to his name.Xander is good on car rides. His foster home has children, but they are dog savvy and are used to herding breeds that will nip their heels. The Not So Good. The not so good is no small pets (cats/hamsters/tortoise), as he has an inbuilt prey drive. He needs a routine lifestyle, not a lot of traffic coming in and out of the house or rowdy teenagers. He will alert bark, but redirects. Xander is initially fearful due to some not so good human interactions so he needs time to warm up. Xander is located in Orange County, CA - no out of state adoptions

Story

Ozzie was found abandoned on the street and taken to a high-intake shelter. After about a month without being adopted, a foster stepped in and promoted him, and I brought him home to give him a chance. He is an 1~2 years old Australian Shepherd mix, 77 lbs, very people-friendly, affectionate, cuddly, smart, and highly food-motivated (learns quickly). He is still adjusting and is working on leash reactivity around other dogs (barking/lunging), which has already improved with positive-reinforcement training and should continue to get better with consistency. Cats are not a good fit, he may fixate and want to chase, so a cat-free home is recommended. He can also jump up when greeting due to excitement, so a home without very young kids is preferred until trained. Vaccines are up to date, heartworm negative, deworming/flea-tick done. Neuter appointment is scheduled for Feb 4. Ideal home: patient, loving, has time for training/exercise, preferably no cats and no other dog at first.
